alan moore - the murders on the rue morgue lyrics

Loading...

down on rue morgue tonight
the great white apes are dancing
at evening street cafes the waiters toast the moon

and me in draculove
alone in midnight ballrooms
the table+lamps burn slowly
such a lonely shade of blue

we watched vampires glide through twilight urchin+gardens
you blow a kiss, they smile and melt in the dark
later on we opened all the cages at the aviary
a cloud of doves blow like albino leaves across the park

may you bе sung to sleep by
starboys, starboys, starboys
in ghostly cinemas at dawn
may white flamingoes fill your nightmarеs
i leave a glove and i am gone

in dream aquariums
fish study their reflections
across the party floor
you wink and turn away

and me in draculove
stand hailing haunted taxis
and you stand there in chiffron stained
quinacridone and gray
down on rue morgue tonight
hermaphrodites and ladies
put on their coloured silks
and paint their faces white

and murderers applaud
as you descend the empire staircase
the dog+men grin
and bare their yellow t++th as if to bite

a throat so pale it leaves me
snowblind, snowblind, snowblind
a voice like distant satellites
we make love to each other’s shadows
god knows the best sun shines at night

i’ve helped you from your bed at
sunset, sunset, sunset
i’ve helped you paint your windows black
i’ve been down upon rue morgue so long
mon anour mort, don’t think i’m ever going back
